Description

A Ruby text editor.

• written in Ruby from the ground up
• runs on JRuby (a fast, compatible Ruby implementation)
• is cross-platform (Linux, Mac OS X, Windows)
• highly extensible

Some Redcar features:

• supports Textmate themes and snippets
• split screen mode
• syntax checking for many languages
• built in REPL for Ruby, plugins for Groovy, Clojure and Mirah.

Some (current) limitations:

• Only supports UTF-8 file encodings (and therefore ASCII)
